(#183) PoliticsIsrael's economy is in a bad way, inflation is
getting higher and immigrants are flooding in from all over the world. Problems,
problems, problems, but what should they do? So the Knesset holds a special
session to come up with a solution.After several hours of talk without progress
one member, Yitzhak, stands up and says "Quiet everyone, I've got it, I've
got the solution to all our problems. We'll declare war on the United States."Everyone starts shouting at once. "You're nuts!
That's crazy!""Hear me out!" says Yitzhak. "We declare war.
We lose. The United States does what she always does when she defeats a country.
She rebuilds everything; our highways, airports, shipping ports, schools,
hospitals, factories, and loans us money, and sends us food aid. Our problems
would be over."Sure," says Benny, another minister, "that's
if we lose. But what if we win?"

(#192) Bad Attitude ParrotDavid received a parrot for his birthday. This
parrot was fully grown, with a bad attitude and worse vocabulary. Every other
word was a swear word. Those that weren't were, to say the least, rude. David
tried hard to change the bird's attitude and was constantly saying polite
words, playing soft Israeli dance music, anything that came to mind. Nothing
worked. He yelled at the bird, but the bird got worse. He shook the bird
and the bird got madder and ruder.Finally, in a moment of desperation, David put
the parrot in the freezer. For a few moments he heard the bird squawking,
kicking and screaming and then, suddenly, all was quiet. David was frightened
that he might have actually hurt the bird and quickly opened the freezer door.The parrot calmly stepped out onto David's extended
arm and said, "I'm sorry that I offended you with my language and actions.
I ask for your forgiveness. I will go to synagogue with you every week to
pray and I will try to modify my behaviour."David was astounded at the bird's change in
attitude and was about to ask what changed him when the parrot continued,
"May I ask what the chicken did?"

(#193) The DonationsKol Nidre was fast approaching and the Rabbi
remembered his dissatisfaction with the donations given by his congregation
last year. He wasn't confident that he could get more from them this year.
The synagogue Treasurer suggested to him that perhaps he might be able to
hypnotize the congregation into giving more."And just how would I go about doing that?" he
asked."It is very simple. First you ensure all windows
are shut so that the shul is warmer than usual. Then you give your usual
sermon, but in a monotone voice. Meanwhile, you dangle a watch on a chain
and swing it in a slow arc backwards and forwards and suggest to the congregation
that they pledge 10 times more than they did last year."So on Kol Nidre night, the Rabbi did as suggested,
and lo and behold, they pledged 10 times more than normal.Now, the Rabbi did not want to take advantage
of this technique each and every year so he waited 2 years before trying mass
hypnosis again.Just as the last of the congregation was becoming
mesmerised, the chain on the watch broke and the watch hit the floor with
a loud thud and springs and parts flew everywhere."Crap!" exclaimed the Rabbi.It took them a week to clean up the synagogue.
